Actions I've taken:
1. Go to control panel and open Administrative tools.
2. Click on services.
3. Stop these services:
Windows Security Center
Windows Managament Instrumentation
SBSD Security Center Service (if you use Spybot Search & Destroy).
4. Let all them to Automatically start.
5. Remove the directory C:\Windows\System32\wbem\Repository
6. Go to Services and Continue all the Services above or go to next step.
7. Reboot
Also created the .bat file and ran it (see first post by Tech).
Rebooted, nothing, Windows Shield still there.
Next, edited PATH in Environment variables to:
;C:\;%systemroot%\System32\;%systemroot%\;%systemroot%\System32\Wbem
Rebooted, nothing, shild still there. (and just for the heck of it I ran the .bat file before rebooting, nothing)
Any Ideas? I'm on Vista and Windows Security does not recognize my Trend Micro firewall and places the Shield in my tray.
